A member asked:
Is left ring finger pain/numbness a sign of a heart attack?

Unlikely: Most likely a neuropathy or a structual problem. A physical exam with a good history by your family dr should track down the problem.

Not at all: You more likely have a digital neuropathy or even early cubital tunnel. Regardless, see your doctor and get evaluated.
